Early in the morning, everything was quiet, and there was a hint of light on the horizon. A new day was coming in from the distance.

Most of the people in the Star Origin City had faces full of fear and anger. This was especially true for the supreme elders of the powerful families. Their faces were filled with anger, and their eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.

Zhou Changji, the leader of the Zhou family, had summoned all the mighty elders of the clan to discuss the matter. This time, Bai Xiaochuan caused a huge ruckus in the Star Origin City. If they did not take care of Bai Xiaochuan, the Zhou family's prestige in the Star Origin City would be completely destroyed.

A red-faced old man said angrily, "I have to speak! If there was no other way, he would just order a few of the higher ranked cultivators from the smaller clans to take action. If Wu Xiang blames us after the event, we can just hand over these small families and we'll be fine. "

The scholar opposite him sneered and taunted, "You think that Senior Wu Xiang is as brainless as you? This kind of little trick, can it trick both Mystic Piercing and Formless? "

The red-faced old man was immediately enraged, he smashed the table beside him with a palm, "Zhou Baiyu! Stop bullshitting here. If you have a good idea, tell it to us and we'll hear it! "

Zhou Baiyu glanced at him and bowed to Zhou Zhangji. Looking around at everyone, he said, "Don't you find it strange? Why would Senior Wu Xiang need our help to kill this Bai Xiaochuan? According to reliable sources, the relationship between Bai Xiaochuan and Senior Wu Xiang is not that simple. "

"Senior Wu Xiang had saved Bai Xiaochuan's life many times. The two had a good relationship, Bai Xiaochuan even called Senior Brother Wu Xiang. But why did Wu Xiang suddenly want us to surround and kill Bai Xiaochuan? "

The red-faced old man puffed his beard and glared: "What nonsense are you spouting! What kind of person is Senior Wu Xiang? He's the soul of the Stabbing Mystic Realm. Who else does he want to kill? "

Zhou Baiyu glanced at him pitifully, but did not pay any attention to him. He continued, "Moreover, all the powerful cultivators in the clan or the rogue cultivators have used their Spiritual Sense to scan the Star Origin City for an entire day, but they haven't found Bai Xiaochuan. This proves that to be the case."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Bai Xiaochuan has a heaven-defying treasure to shield his spiritual sense. This heaven-defying magic treasure could even block the divine sense of a Paragon Realm cultivator! I presume that this was given to him by Senior Wu Xiang. "

Everyone in the hall had a thoughtful expression. Zhou Zhangji frowned and let him continue. Zhou Baiyu was in high spirits and began to discuss his speculations without end.

He believed that this time, it was Senior Wu Xiang who treated everyone in Xing Yuan City as Bai Xiaochuan's whetstone. Wu Xiang actually valued Bai Xiaochuan a lot; this was a trial for Bai Xiaochuan.

One had to say, Zhou Baiyu had guessed most of the matter. However, he had guessed one thing wrong. Bai Xiaochuan's treasure was not given to him by Wu Xiang. Bai Xiaochuan was also not Bai Xiaochuan's treasure, he was Bai Xiaochuan's companion in life! Wu Xiang also did not hold Bai Xiaochuan in high regard.

Zhou Baiyu's meaning was very clear. The Zhou family could no longer get involved in this mess. As long as the Zhou family continued to get involved, no matter what the final outcome was, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the Zhou family.

If Bai Xiaochuan survived, then Wu Xiang would definitely reward Bai Xiaochuan accordingly. The most likely scenario would be that he would be recruited into the Arcane Mystery and nurtured as a core disciple.

If this was the case, then in the future, if Bai Xiaochuan's cultivation base reached the heavens, it would be true. Recalling the actions of the Zhou family back then, they would definitely take revenge.

If Bai Xiaochuan were to die, who knew what Wu Xiang's attitude would be? If Wu Xiang suddenly wanted to avenge Bai Xiaochuan, then the first to be out of luck would be the Zhou family.

From Zhou Baiyu's point of view, the Zhou family wasn't just anyone. Killing or not killing Bai Xiaochuan would be disadvantageous to the Zhou family. The only way out now was to let go of this opening in the dark and let Bai Xiaochuan leave the Star Origin City.

If Bai Xiaochuan left the Star Origin City, his life and death would have nothing to do with the Zhou family. For the Zhou family, this was the safest method.

After Zhou Baiyu finished speaking, he returned to his seat. Faintly pleased with himself, he felt that he had already seen through the essence of the matter.

The rest of the people in the hall could not help but nod in agreement with Zhou Baiyu's words. Even the red-faced old man had to admit that Zhou Baiyu's words were very reasonable.

Actually, it seemed like Zhou Baiyu's logical reasoning was quite reasonable. However, there were many things in the world that did not make sense.

Bai Xiaowang was not given to her by Wu Xiang, she was sealed within Bai Xiaochuan's body. At the same time, Wu Xiang didn't care about Bai Xiaochuan's life. Ci Xuan was cruel. If he couldn't pass the trial, then he was just a piece of trash. The death of a trash was not worth a pity.

As for Zhou Zhangji, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

The early morning in the Star Origin City seemed calm, but the undercurrents in the city were extremely dangerous.
